*** Dallas Hotrod Parts ***

I started my shop in 1994 as a small custom shop specializing in custom trucks, suspension and bodywork. I had several people who helped me along the way. They each in their own way helped shaped DHP into what it is today. These people are my dad, Michael White Sr., my brother Joseph White, My brother Shawn White, my son Michael B. White, my best friend Michael Howard, Thomas Fitsgerald, James Stone, Brian Simpson and several others. Michael Howard came up with the name Barnyard Customs in 1997.

In 2004 I had 4000 sq ft in a warehouse district. I was doing several vehicles at the time as well as starting to build arms alot more. I had a trucking business at the time. I got out of the trucking business to do the custom parts thing full time.

I was soon contacted by Jason Thorbecke at Suicidedoors.com . Jason was interested in me making S-10 arms for him. At the time the S-10 thing was pretty big and Jason said he did not have time then to make his own version. I sent him a sample set and the rest is history. I made about 5 sets a day for Jason's customers. The problem was that Jason was selling more than that every day. This became a problem later because I could not increase production.

I worked at this until May of 2006 when I was forced to close BYC. I regrouped and reopened in December of 2007 as Dallas Hotrod Parts. I was unable to get the old domain name back so I renamed the shop. I started over with nothing. No equipment, tools, nothing. I worked my way back and did not forget all my BYC customers. I have been working at this ever since. I plan to take DHP back to a fulltime thing sometime in the next 5 years. I am building slowly. I simply put everything that comes thru the door back into the business.

I have recently decided to stop making some items that I cannot compete with. These would be things like step notches, bushing sleeves, 4 links etc. I cannot compete with bigger shops due to high materials costs. I will still build anything if someone asks but I wont stock these items anymore. I would like to concentrate on tube arms, flat plate arms, crossmembers and watts links. Look for updates on the home page. Thanks!
